Following the guidelines of the degree, students who take this subject will be offered two evaluation systems: continuous and global assessment (at the end of the semester). By default it is assumed all students follow the continuous evaluation system unless they present a written resignation after the first month of class. The global evaluation system is only recommended in situations where it is impossible to follow the continuous evaluation process.
LANGUAGE: Any student can choose which language will use during the assessment process (English, Spanish).
CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT:
The continuous assessment will be carried out according to the methodologies and tests indicated below:
- Two supervised works (50% of the final grade). Each work weights a 25% on the final grade. The supervised works will be developed in groups.
- The individual grade of each component of the group will be obtained through the results of cross-evaluation surveys among the members of the group and the individual presentation of the contribution to the work of the group. The minimum grade necessary to consider that the contribution of a student to the work of the group is satisfactory will be 2 out of 5 points.
- The student's competences will be evaluated during the presentation of the work. Their capacities of synthesis, analysis, mastery of the specific vocabulary of the specialty and their skills for oral exchange will be taken into account. 25% of the final grade of the work will be assigned from the individual presentation.
- Delivery of three reports and results of practices with the support of ICT carried out with the finite element method (FEM) (40% of the final grade).
- Delivery of a practice report carried out with the boundary element method (BEM), on the acoustic field analysis in cavities. (10% of the final grade).
The final grade will be obtained through the weighted average of the grades obtained. A minimum of 4 out of 10 points in each work / practical report is required. In case a student does not meet the requirement in any of the competences evaluated but the weighted average is greater than 5, he will be assigned a failed as final grade (4.9 points). In this case, the student in continuous evaluation will have to do the tasks required to pass the final examination in the official data.
ORDINARY EXAM, GLOBAL ASSESSMENT:
In case a student does not follow the continuous evaluation process, a final exam must be take on on the date published by the center. The student will have to:
- Deliver of two works requested by the teaching staff (1 work on the application of boundary elements, 1 work on the application of the finite element method). The student must obtain at least 4 out of 10 points in each of the works.
- Answer in a written exam questions about the theoretical contents of the subject. The student must obtain at least 4 out of 10 points.
The final grade will be obtained by averaging all the grades. In case the average grade exceeds 5 points but in either any of the works or in the written test the minimum requirement has not been met, the final grade will be fail (4.9 points).
EXTRAORDINARY AND END OF PROGRAM EXAMS:
1, GLOBAL ASSESSMENT:
Students who have to take a final extraordinary exam or an end or program exam must contact the teaching staff previously to request the assignment of two works, to proceed as described previously in case of the final exam in ordinary call.
2. CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT:
In the case that a student following the continuous assessment proceess has passed he minimum requirements in some proof of evaluation (works/tests written) the grade will be kept during 1 academic year. Either a written test or some works agreed with the teacher mus be done. The grades will not be kept if they have been obtained in past academic years.
Plagiarism is regarded as serious misconduct. If any form of plagiarism is detected in any test or work, according to the circumstances, the final grade of the course might be FAIL (0) and the corresponding academic authorities informed about the fact in order to take further measures.
